It's official. I'm suffering from "Outrage Fatigue."
Someone else used the terminology first, but I've definitely contracted it.

Off to do something else tonight or I'll get tainted again.

Suggestions, anyone?

1. I'm becoming numb to it all
it is just endless, just one thing after another

3. Right. I'd chalk it up to seasonal depression (I get in in the spring)
but it's more than that.

2. I know what you mean. Things that a decade ago
would have had my head spinning completely off, I just tend to shrug at today.

4. Shrugging at everything tonight. Maybe I'll just clean a closet.

8. I wish political apathy motivated me to do housework,
but I'm apathetic about that, too.:shrug:

5. Go out to dinner.
Watch a funny movie.
Read a good book.
Chat with a girlfriend.
Anything unrelated to politics, outrage, etc.

7. Thanks, Seattle Girl. Good suggestions! Also had a big piece of

6. You know Radio_Lady...
I was just now thinking that very exact thing and
was going to post a thread about it.

Get off my brain waves!

I'm outraged!

LOL! :o :7

9. One truly excellent glass of wine, some candles and
a long, hot, soak in a bathtub full of scented bubbles.

:hi:

10. Have a "do nothing" evening.
Please don't clean your closets.

Maybe head over to Powells and wander the aisles for a bit?
